GREAT BRITAIN. Penny, ND (ca. 972-75). Chester Mint; Sideman, moneyer. Eadgar. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details Gold Shield.
S-1141; North-752. Reform Small Cross type. A decently preserved example of this seldom encountered type exhibiting bold legends and rich slate patina struck on a slightly wavy flan. Upon close inspection the surfaces do show light signs of surface granularity accounting for the detail designation. Despite its shortcomings this type infrequently appears on the market sure to excite even advance collectors looking to obtain this sought-after issue.
From the Sundial Valley Farms Collection.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
